It's A Miracle

We've waited...and waited...and waited.  It must have finally happened over the weekend.  Our flowers have bloomed!  Our purple irises have opened and shared their wonderful scent and color!  The kids were so excited!

And, of course...when flowers are present, they must be smelled...

I was so proud of my kids.  We've learned about planting seeds, and how some flowers grow from bulbs.  However, irises grow from a rhizome - which some of the kids remembered.  Yeah!

While we were in the garden, we had to pick out a few weeks.  We don't like weeds.

It was a bit dry in the garden, too, we noticed.  A good watering was needed - for the kids, too!  They loved getting sprayed!
